Hotel V Fizeaustraat – Amsterdam, Retro Roots with Local Soul
A 1970s architectural gem reborn with warmth, wit, and a touch of Amsterdam quirk
From Office Block to Boutique Beacon
The third addition to Amsterdam’s much-loved V Hotels collection, Hotel V Fizeaustraat makes its home in a former 1970s office building designed by Dutch modernist Piet Zanstra. What could have been a cold, corporate shell is now a vibrant retreat that blends vintage charm with contemporary ease—a tribute to both the building’s era and the city’s creativity.
A Lobby That Lingers with You
Step inside and the tone is set: wicker chairs gathered in conversational clusters, plush leather sofas, and armchairs that practically insist you settle in. Greens and browns form a cozy palette, accented by the raw concrete bones of the original structure. The showstopper—a massive chandelier crafted from bicycle chains—adds a knowing wink to Amsterdam’s cycling culture.
Light, Space, and a Gentle Patina
The original tinted windows, restored and modernized, flood the interiors with soft, filtered light. It’s a space that feels both open and intimate, modern yet gently worn in—a careful balance that invites you to stay longer than planned.
Aesthetic Meets Ethos
Hotel V Fizeaustraat’s design embraces the past without becoming a time capsule. The retro lines are softened with tactile textures, while eco-conscious updates make the building as responsible as it is stylish. It’s a place where you can sip a coffee in the lobby, watch the city through those perfectly imperfect windows, and feel part of Amsterdam’s story.
DNA Hotels Verdict
Hotel V Fizeaustraat is a love letter to 1970s Dutch design, reimagined with the warmth and personality that defines the V Hotels brand. With its cozy-meets-industrial interiors, sustainable updates, and undeniable local character, it offers a stay that’s as distinctive as the city itself.
